1) the list on the last two pages of this book is very good
2) the basic idea in this books is helpful. however, the stories are a litte outdated.
3) one might want to spend 10 mins at bookstore flipping through rather than have it on your desk/bag/bedside
4) also some talks online on time management is also very helpful and up to date. e.g. brian tracy, last lecture by one dying carnagie mallon professor
